Near central Victorian double fronted property in fashionable location with courtyard and single garage
10 Blossom Street is tucked away on the corner of Blossom Street and Norfolk Terrace, just off Norfolk Street, and despite its close proximity to the city centre (just under a mile), sits in a quiet, no-through traffic position . The property was constructed circa 1900 of Cambridge brick elevations beneath a slate roof and has unique accommodation extending to 1,268 sq ft (118 sq m) laid out over four levels.
The current owner has had four tall bespoke timber double glazed sash windows installed in the last ten years and the property is characterful and retains a number of original period features. On entering the property, there is a central staircase, whilst to the right is the sitting room which has a tall sash window, substantial ornate cast iron fireplace and a wooden panelled wall. To the left is the dining room which has a dual aspect, and beyond, accesses the compact single-row galley kitchen which is vaulted and has a glazed skylight. A spiral staircase descends from the corner of the dining room into the double' length reception room which has been used as a TV/family room, but it is felt that if a larger kitchen area is required, this space might be able to be re-purposed.
At first floor is the main bedroom, again with a tall sash window, the seller, some years ago had the west side of the property reconfigured from two single bedrooms to create a large shower room and a small dressing/closet room which could be used as a small nursery/study area. A staircase ascends from the main landing to a further bedroom which occupies the full width of the property, has two windows, an air conditioning unit along with a shallow vaulted ceiling with slightly restricted head heights.
The small rear courtyard has a side pedestrian access from Norfolk Terrace and beyond is a covered storage area which has a WC, these two spaces again could be combined to create a larger outside space or possibly the latter might be used to create further living space. Of particular note, and rare for this area is that there is a single garage and could be very attractive for those who wish to garage a car and indeed for those looking for an EV point.
The property, which can be seen in greater detail on the attached floorplans might now benefit from some improvement, has a gas fired central heating system in situ and has attractive unique accommodation over four levels.

I was stunned by just how quiet the location this house is in was, so close to central and yet no-through traffic. Bliss!
